The manufacturer cannot be held liable

for the consequences of an inadequate

earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

Warning and safety instructions

7

~

Before connecting the appliance,

check that the connection data on the

data plate (voltage, frequency and

connected load) match the mains

electricity supply, otherwise the

appliance could be damaged. If in

doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

~

Do not connect the appliance to the

mains electricity supply by an extension

lead or a multi-socket unit. These do

not guarantee the required safety of the

appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

~

For safety reasons, this appliance

may only be used when it has been

built in.

~

Never open the casing of the

appliance.

Tampering with electrical connections

or components and mechanical parts is

highly dangerous to the user and can

cause operational faults.

~

While the appliance is under

guarantee, repairs should only be

undertaken by a service technician

authorised by the manufacturer.

Otherwise the guarantee will be

invalidated.

~

During installation, maintenance and

repair work, the appliance must be

disconnected from the mains electricity

supply. Ensure that current is not

supplied to the applinace until after

maintenance or repair work has been

carried out.

~

Faulty components must only be

replaced by genuine Miele original

~

In countries where there are areas

which may be subject to infestation by

cockroaches or other vermin, pay

particular attention to keeping the

appliance and its surroundings in a

clean condition at all times. Any

damage which may be caused by

cockroaches or other vermin will not be

covered by the guarantee.

Warning and safety instructions

8

Correct use

Caution. Danger of burning.

The oven interior gets very hot when

operating with functions which do

not use microwave power and also

with combination programmes which

do use microwave power.

~

Use oven gloves when placing food

in the oven, turning or removing it and

when adjusting the rack etc. in a hot

oven.

The top heat/grill element gets very hot

when the oven is being used on the

Conventional, Grill, Fan grill, MW+Grill

and MW+Fan grill functions. Danger of

burning.

~

Plastic containers must ony be used

with Microwave Solo. These melt at

high temperatures and if used with any

other function, the appliance could be

damaged.

~

Always ensure that food is

sufficiently cooked or reheated. Many

factors will affect the overall cooking

time, including the size and amount of

food, its initial temperature, changes to

recipe and the shape and size of

cooking container.

Some foods may contain micro-

organisms which are only destroyed by

thorough cooking, therefore when

cooking or re-heating foods, e.g.

poultry, it is particularly important that

food is fully cooked through (at

temperatures of over 70 °C for more

than 10 minutes). If in doubt, select a

longer cooking or reheating time.

~

It is important that the heat is

allowed to spread evenly throughout

the food being cooked. This can be

achieved by stirring and/or turning the

food, and by observing a sufficiently

long standing time, which should be

added to the time needed for cooking,

reheating or defrosting.

~

Please be aware that using

microwave power will shorten cooking,

reheating and defrosting times

considerably compared to when using

functions without microwave power.

Make sure that you keep to the

recommended grilling times when

using the Grill and Fan grill functions.

Excessively long cooking times can

lead to food drying out and burning or

could even cause the food to catch fire.

– Do not use the microwave function to

dry breadcrumbs, flowers, herbs,

grain etc.

– Do not use any functions which use

the grill to heat and crisp up rolls or

bread, or to dry flowers, herbs, grain

etc.

Use the Fan plus function for these

types of procedure and do not leave

the oven unattended.

~

Never cover the floor of the oven

with aluminium foil when using the oven

on the Conventional, Bottom heat,

Intensive bake and Fan plus functions.

Never place a cooking container or the

glass tray directly on the floor of the

oven. The resulting build-up of heat can

damage the oven.

Warning and safety instructions

9

~

Never leave the appliance

unattended when cooking with oil or

fats, as these are a fire hazard if

allowed to overheat.

~

Never heat undiluted alcohol in the

microwave as this can easily ignite.

If using alcohol in your recipes, please

be aware that high temperatures can

cause the alcohol to vaporise and even

to ignite on the hot heating elements.

Alcohol should be burnt off before the

dish is placed in the oven to avoid this

danger.

~

Do not heat up unopened tins or jars

of food in the oven. Pressure can build

up and they may explode, resulting in

injury or damage.

~

If smoke occurs in the oven, to avoid

fuelling any flame do not open the door.

Cancel the cooking process by

switching the appliance off, switch off

at the socket and remove the plug. Do

not open the oven door until the smoke

has dispersed.

~

Moisture in food could lead to

corrosion in the oven interior and

corrosion damage of the control panel,

worktop or housing unit.

–

Always cover food when using the

Microwave (Solo) function. After food

has been brought to the boil,

continue cooking it at a lower setting

to avoid excess steam escaping.

–

If you wish to complete a cooking

process using the residual heat in

the oven, do not switch the

appliance off. Leave the function

selector at the position set and turn

the temperature selector to the

lowest setting.

–

Cover any food which is left in the

oven to be kept hot as this will

prevent it from drying out.

~

Do not use the appliance to heat up

the room. Due to the high temperatures

radiated, objects left near the oven

could catch fire.

~

Do not lean or sit on an open door,

or place heavy items on it. This could

damage the appliance. The door can

support a maximum load of 8 kg.

~

Do not use full power to warm empty

dishes or to dry out herbs. Do not use

the appliance without food, or if it is

incorrectly loaded.

~

Do not use the microwave function

to heat up cushions or pads filled with

cherry kernels, wheat grain, lavender or

gel, such as those used in

aromatherapy. These pads can ignite

when heated even after they have been

removed from the appliance.

~

Exercise caution when cooking or

reheating food with a high sugar

content, e.g. Christmas pudding. If

heated for too long the sugar may

caramelise or ignite. Always ensure that

this type of procedure is supervised.

~

The microwave combination oven is

not suitable for cleaning or disinfecting

items.

Items can get extremely hot and there

is a danger of burning when the item is

removed.

Warning and safety instructions

10

~

Before serving, remember to allow a

sufficient standing time and then

always check the temperature of the

food after taking it out of the oven. The

temperature of the container is not an

indication of the temperature of the

food or liquid in it as the heat is

directed straight to the food. The

container is only warmed up through

the transfer of heat from the food, and

tends not to become as hot.

Be particularly careful when warming

up baby food that the food does not

get too hot.

Always stir or shake baby milk and

food after heating it up, and taste it

first to make sure it is not too hot.

~

Never cook or reheat food or liquids

in sealed containers, jars or bottles.

With baby bottles, the screw top and

teat must be loosened. Otherwise

pressure builds up which can cause

the bottle or container to explode,

posing a severe risk of injury.

~

When heating liquids using

microwave power, the boiling rod

provided should always be placed in

the container.

When heating liquids, milk, sauces etc,

using microwave power without the

boiling rod, the boiling point of the

liquid may be reached without the

production of typical bubbles. The

liquid does not boil evenly throughout.

This so-called 'boiling delay' can cause

a sudden build-up of bubbles when the

container is removed from the oven or

shaken. This can lead to the liquid

boiling over suddenly and explosively.

Danger of burning.

The formation of bubbles can be so

strong that the pressure forces the oven

door open. The user could be injured

and the appliance damaged. The

boiling rod ensures that the liquid boils

evenly and that bubbles form at an

early stage during the operation.

~

Make sure that you only use

microwave safe containers when using

the Microwave (Solo) function or a

combination programme which uses

microwave power. Observe the

instructions given in "Suitable

containers for microwave ovens".

~

Ovenproof earthenware can retain a

considerable amount of moisture.

Earthenware and porcelain containers

with hollow handles and lid knobs must

only be used with microwave power if

they have vent holes which allow the

moisture to escape. Without vent holes

there can be a pressure build-up,

causing the container to crack or

shatter, with the danger of injury.

Warning and safety instructions

11

~

Do not reheat food in the oven in

heat-retaining bags which are intended

for use in normal ovens. These heat-

retaining bags usually contain a thin

layer of aluminium foil which reflects

microwaves. This reflected energy can,

in turn, cause the outer paper covering

to become so hot that it ignites.

~

Do not leave the appliance

unattended when reheating or cooking

food in disposable containers made of

plastic, paper or other inflammable

materials.

Before using single-use containers

make sure they are suitable for use in

microwave ovens. See "Suitable

containers for microwave ovens -

Plastics".

~

Eggs can only be cooked in their

shells using microwave heat in a

specially designed egg-boiling device

available from specialist shops.

Similarly, hard-boiled eggs should not

be reheated using microwave power as

this may lead to the eggs exploding,

even after they have been taken out of

the oven.

~

Eggs can be cooked without their

shells using microwave power only if

the yolk membrane has been

punctured several times first. The

pressure could otherwise cause the

egg yolk to explode. Danger of inury.

~

Food with a thick skin or peel, such

as tomatoes, sausages, jacket potatoes

and aubergines, should be pierced or

cut in several places to allow steam to

escape and prevent the food from

bursting.

~

To check the temperature of the

food, first interrupt the cooking process.

Only use a thermometer specifically

approved for food use to measure the

temperature of the food. Never use a

thermometer containing mercury or

liquid, as these are not suitable for use

with very high temperatures and will

break very easily.

Accessories

~

Only use genuine Miele original

spare parts and accessories with this

appliance. Using spare parts or

accessories from other manufacturers

will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele

cannot accept liability.

~

Only use the special Miele food

probe for this microwave combi oven.

If the food probe breaks, it must be

replaced by an original Miele food

probe. If a replacement is necessary, it

can be obtained from the Miele Spare

Parts Department or your Miele dealer.

The manufacturer cannot be held

liable for damage caused by non-

compliance with these Warning and

Safety instructions.

Warning and safety instructions

12

Disposal of the packing

material

The transport and protective packing

has been selected from materials which

are environmentally friendly for disposal

and should be recycled.

Ensure that any plastic wrappings,

bags etc. are disposed of safely and

kept out of the reach of babies and

young children. Danger of suffocation!

Disposal of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances

often contain materials which, if

handled or disposed of incorrectly,

could be potentially hazardous to

human health and to the environment.

They are, however, essential for the

correct functioning of your appliance.

Please do not therefore dispose it with

your household waste.
